2736. The longitudinal section removed from the foregoing specimen. Hunterian. 



2737. One moiety of a longitudinally bisected lower half of probably the same 

 femur. 



It shows the gradual occupation of the medullary cavity by the light cancello-reticulate 

 structure, about three inches below the upper part of the section. 



Hunterian. 



2738. The other moiety of the same section. Hunterian. 



2739. The upper part of the diaphysis of the left femur, longitudinally bisected, of 

 a young Elephant. Hunterian. 



2740. One moiety of a longitudinally bisected lower half of the diaphysis of the left 

 femur of a young Elephant. Hunterian. 



2741. The other moiety of the same portion of femur, from which a transverse sec- 

 tion has been removed. Hunterian. 



2742. The upper third of the left tibia, including the epiphysis, longitudinally bi- 

 sected, of a young Elephant. 



It shows the commencement of the small medullary cavity at its lower end. 



Hunterian. 



2743. The middle third of the same tibia. 



It shows the termination of the small medullary cavity about three inches below the upper 

 end. The canal for the medullary artery passes transversely from the back part of the shaft, 

 forwards, into the cavity. 



Hunterian. 



2744. The lower third of the same tibia, with the epiphysis, longitudinally bisected. 



Its substance is occupied with a cancellous structure of a coarser character than that of the
